Everyone cheered and knelt on the ground, all with their heads lowered.
Shu Jieyu had mixed feelings in her heart. The emperor came at the wrong time. If it had been a little later, she might have succeeded. But it didn't matter, she still had a chance.
Li Qingshu didn't put much thought into it, but seemed extremely natural.
The emperor was a compassionate person and directly asked everyone to stand up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When Li Maner saw the emperor coming, he retreated to the second line and hid behind Li Qingshu, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Her little move did not escape Emperor Chenghua's eyes. He just glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze and asked seriously: "What's going on? Why is there such a fuss?"
Before Li Qingshu and others could speak, Shu Jieyu curled her lips and howled, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me." She howled while protecting her belly, which was not yet showing her pregnancy, with her hands.
I don’t know why I offended Concubine Shu, and she wanted to harm the child in my belly. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me."
Li Qingshu sneered and did not judge for herself at all. She had never done it before, and her family was her backer, so she was not afraid of being framed by others.
The emperor frowned. When he came, he could clearly see that Concubine Shu had been keeping things quiet, but Shu Jieyu, relying on the meat in her belly, was a little ignorant.
"You said that Concubine Shu wanted to harm your child."
Shu Jieyu still couldn't figure out the situation, so she said delicately: "Your Majesty, that is our child."
"What's going on?" Emperor Chenghua was obviously very angry and was not in the mood to watch her act coquettishly.
Shu Jieyu was so frightened that she sobered up a little and realized that she was afraid, "She, I... am my concubine."
"Forget it, just say it." Emperor Chenghua pointed at Li Man'er.
This was the emperor's question. Shu Jieyu did not dare to say anything and could only give Li Man'er a fierce look.
Li Maner didn't want to get entangled too much, so he quickly told what happened.
"My daughter came to the garden to relax with Concubine Shu, and she didn't want to run into Shu Jieyu. Jieyu said that the doctor asked her to move around more, which would be good for the child in her belly, but her words were not very polite, and she mocked Concubine Shu's four sides.
The princess is gone, and it is said that Concubine Shu brought her into the palace just to maintain her favor."
After hearing this, Shu Jieyu's eyes immediately turned red, "I am unjustly accused!"
"You dare not admit it." Li Man'er said: "Who said that the one born in her belly is more noble than a dead person. This is not what you said? You clearly know that the fourth princess is the pain in my aunt's heart.
I must mention it, why are you not deliberately looking for trouble?"
Shu Jieyu knew that things couldn't be done today, and she might have to get involved. The most important thing right now was self-protection, and other things could be done later.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. No matter how eloquent I am, I can't be disrespectful to the fourth princess. I really never said that Miss Li has wronged me."
Li Qingshu said quickly: "Your Majesty, everything Man'er said is true. I don't want to conflict with Shu Jieyu because of the fact that she is pregnant with the dragon heir. The blood of the Tian family is the most important, so I want to avoid her edge.
.”
What she said was learned. Li Qingshu was showing weakness, but she was not showing weakness to Shu Jieyu, but to the emperor. For a high-ranking concubine, she was ridiculed and backed away just because she was pregnant. This is too much to bully others!
And the best thing about Li Qingshu is that everything she tells is the truth. No one can fault her, but Shu Jieyu is labeled as someone who is guilty of something, someone who is arrogant because of her favor.
"I don't have any."
"Okay!" The emperor shouted angrily, "Shu Jieyu should have been severely punished for the following offenses, but because she is pregnant and has contributed to continuing the bloodline of the royal family, she will be punished for two months and grounded for one month.
.”
"I am willing to accept the punishment." Shu Jieyu was secretly happy when she heard that she was fine. She couldn't help but glare at Li Man'er, as if to say, look, I am so powerful, but you just can't move me.
When it comes to arrogance, who can be more arrogant than Li Man'er? She won't let others take the lead in this kind of limelight.
"Your Majesty, I am not convinced."
Li Qingshu hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Barbarian, don't talk nonsense." The Holy Spirit spoke so eloquently, but even if she was not convinced, the result would not change.
"Oh?" The pressure on Emperor Chenghua was unconsciously released, and even Li Qingshu was sweating for Li Man'er. The emperor is not the eldest princess. Anyone who dares to question the emperor will not be able to kill him even if he has three heads and six arms.
!
"Your Majesty, Man'er is fine. She was raised and raised in the palace. Don't blame her."
Shu Jieyu saw the opportunity and added insult to injury: "Sister, what you said is wrong. The eldest girl is not young anymore, and she doesn't understand the ways of a monarch and a minister?"
If a person is looking for death, no one can stop him.
"My daughter has no intention of contradicting the emperor. I just feel that the crime of deceiving the emperor is just a punishment of being banned from the emperor and a monthly rule, which is a bit too light."
Shu Jieyu's face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes rolled around, wondering if all this was a coincidence or if Li Maner really knew something.
After hearing Li Man'er's words, Emperor Chenghua's face suddenly turned ugly, "Deceiving the emperor?"
Li Qingshu's heart almost flew out of her mouth, "Man'er, don't talk nonsense, do you have evidence?"
"Shu Jieyu, should you confess it yourself, or let me do it for you."
Shu Jieyu smiled awkwardly, "I don't know what you are talking about. How could I deceive you? You can't even think of slandering me."
"Slander? You are not pregnant at all!"
"Nonsense!" Shu Jieyu covered her belly and said, "I, my imperial physician has personally seen this fetus. What do you, a yellow-blooded girl, know?"
Li Man'er sneered, "I'm afraid it's not right! You smell like Feng Xiangzi. This is a strange medicine that is not available in the country. This medicine is grown in the snowy areas of the plateau. When the medicine matures, the whole body will be as dry as a dead branch.
, when the wind blows, it makes a roaring sound, hence the name."
Shu Jieyu's face turned pale, and she could tell there was something fishy at first sight. Unfortunately, she still wanted to make excuses and refused to plead guilty.
"What is Feng Xiangzi? What does this have to do with my pregnancy? I don't understand what you are talking about."
Li Maner once again spread the science to everyone, "This medicine has extremely weird properties. If mixed with deer blood, it will cause flatulence in the abdomen, and the pulse will also change. It is like a round ball, which is very similar to Hua Mai.
It will make people mistakenly think that the person taking the medicine is pregnant. However, the taste of this medicine has a smell, and after it is mixed with deer blood, the taste becomes even more subtle. Shu Jieyu may have been instructed by someone to use fumigation.
The incense covered up the smell of the medicine, and it was indeed hidden from many people. However, I have been studying medicine for many years, and I have some talents. My nose is better than ordinary people, so I smelled the smell of Feng Xiangzi."
"It's nonsense, it's all nonsense." Shu Jieyu wiped the tears from her eyes in grievance, "Your Majesty wants to make the decision for me! I haven't even heard of the wind."
Li Man'er said slowly and calmly: "If it's true, let the imperial doctor come over and test it to find out."
